Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps is a sequel to Wall Street (1987) (1987), which was based on an original screenplay by American screenwriters Oliver Stone and Stanley Weiser. The script for Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps was written by American screenwriters Allan Loeb and Stephen Schiff.
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps takes place about 23 years after Wall Street. The original was set in 1985, the new film is set in 2008.
Michael Douglas and Charlie Sheen are returning in their roles as Gordon Gekko and Bud Fox respectively. Their interaction, and Sheen's screentime, mainly consists of an exchange between Fox and Gekko. Chuck Pfeiffer (Chuck Pfeiffer) and Sylvia Miles (Sylvia Miles), who had small roles as Chuckie and Dolores in the original film, reappear in this one, as does Oliver Stone (Oliver Stone), who again makes a cameo appearance. Also returning is George Blumenthal (guy in the locker room, now at the FED meeting) and Sean Stone (once the chubby Rudy Gekko, now a hedge fund trader).
Gekko gets his DynaTac mobile phone back when he's released from jail. It is not seen again after this scene. It is unknown if the original phone is playing the role of Gekko's DynaTac in this film.
The Dyna Tac was the first handheld cellular phone, one of the 8000 series of phones. Cellular phones actually existed long before the 1980s, but the private handheld ones didn't come out until the early 80s. Dr. Martin Cooper led the team that developed the phone. The phone was nicknamed "The Brick" by users because of its large size and weight.
"This Must Be The Place" by Talking Heads, which was also played in the original Wall Street during the scene where Bud Fox's new apartment is decorated and also during it's ending credits.
